High to moderate levels of stress lead to higher mortality rate
2011-10-22
CORVALLIS, Ore. – A new study concludes that men who experience persistently moderate or high levels of stressful life events over a number of years have a 50 percent higher mortality rate.
In general, the researchers found only a few protective factors against these higher levels of stress – people who self-reported that they had good health tended to live longer and married men also fared better. Moderate drinkers also lived longer than non-drinkers.
"Being a teetotaler and a smoker were risk factors for mortality," said Carolyn Aldwin, lead author of the study and ...
Hospital patients suffer in shift shuffle
2011-10-22

Grainy asteroids and the craters they leave behind
F. Pacheco-Vazquez and J.C. Ruiz-Suarez
Physical Review Letters (forthcoming)
It's generally accepted that craters in the moons and planets were created by asteroid collisions. But, why are some craters completely flat while others show central peaks? New experiments involving projectiles made of globs of granular material appear to provide a solution to the long-standing mystery: loosely-packed projectiles completely spread after collision, leading to bowl-shaped craters, while tightly-packed globs give rise to central ...
University of Iowa, NYU biologists describe key mechanism in early embryo development
2011-10-22
New York University and University of Iowa biologists have identified a key mechanism controlling early embryonic development that is critical in determining how structures such as appendages—arms and legs in humans—grow in the right place and at the right time.
In a paper published in the journal PLoS Genetics, John Manak, an assistant professor of biology in the UI College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Chris Rushlow, a professor in NYU's Department of Biology, write that much research has focused on the spatial regulatory networks that control early developmental ...
Novel therapeutic target identified to decrease triglycerides and increase 'good' cholesterol
2011-10-22
Researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center today announce findings published in the October 20 issue of Nature that show for the first time the inhibition of both microRNA-33a and microRNA-33b (miR-33a/b) with chemically modified anti-miR oligonucleotides markedly suppress triglyceride levels and cause a sustained increase in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) "good" cholesterol.
"The discovery of microRNAs in the last decade has opened new insights for up new avenues for the development of therapies targeted at these potent regulators of gene pathways," said ...
